The Old XBOX Megathread

[MalaCloudy Black]

So rumor is that the next-gen Xbox will require a constant internet connection, games will ship on 50GB blu-rays that comes with an activation code effectively making resale impossible, and ship with Kinect.

So sayeth Edge Online, according to their "sources". The stuff about requiring a connection and activation codes seems really far-fetched, wouldn't be surprised if that turned out to be a bunch of bullshit. They've also got a story - again citing "our sources" - detailing the supposed PS4.

[apsham]

Well. Depending on all of that, I may have to switch over to the PS4.

The constant connection would kill me wanting it for sure.

Activation code? Eh, I could go either way on that actually. I sell games and then want to get them back WAY too often.

The Kinect thing is alright I guess, just as long as it doesn't make the price outrageous.

[RoHitman Reigns]

Hopefully they do non kinect versions as well

[Monkey D. Lars]

Anyone up for some co-op in deadspace 3?

[apsham]

I think from the very start they said that they'd be bundling with a better version of the Kinect. If it's the standard.. I don't really care about it. It's not going to make developers want to make games for the thing unless its greatly improved anyways.

I presume the fact that every Xbox owner, whether they're casual family types or hardcore nerds, will have a Kinect is a decent incentive for developers.

I'm building a gaming PC and have recently got a Wii U. Next gen Xbox can wait until at least a year after release, probably longer if the rumours are true.

[Cactus Drags]

I have stupidly resigned myself to the fact I am probably going to get one at launch. As long as it's compatible with my 360 library.

[Summers]

yeah, i'll probably look into getting the new xbox. depends on everything financially, but i'd be happy to wait a while.

Same here

[apsham]

If the system is compatible with all my old stuff and/or I can transfer either data on my hard drive or the hard drive itself over to the new system.. I'll be sold for sure.

If not, I'll probably look into the PS4.

[King Ellis]

And then you'll sell it and buy the Xbox anyway.

And then sell that for the PS4.

Rinse and repeat around 3 times.

[Dan]

Backwards compatibility is that important?

You'll only get about £60 for your Xbox by the time the new one comes out, hardly a deal maker.

[Maxx]

...what?

[Cactus Drags]

I think he's saying I should keep my 360 when the new one comes out.

[LL!]

Ain't nobody got space for that!

[apsham]

I'd rather have everything in one place, instead of having multiple machines hooked up. Not to mention that the 360 isn't going to last forever... backwards compatibility is easy to accomplish for the most part.

[Benji]
